Holiday Adventures...

I couldn't resist sharing some pictures of my family's annual cookie and craft day. Sharing a day of love, laughter and a few mishaps is the best Christmas present I get every year. May you all be as blessed as I am.

Ah come on. Don't leave. We'll let you play too!

Of course we're being NICE!

They assigned me the green dough. They didn't tell me I'd be stained green until it wore off.

I'm not stupid. I know about green food coloring.

Ok. It's loaded. Is the safety off?

Look. All you do is click it like this.

No. That's not how it works. Here. Let me do it.

I've got this. Watch!

There. I fixed it again. Now, watch this!

I don't think anything is coming out.

It's easier to use a cookie cutter, Mom.

We'll let mom fool with the cookie shooter. We'll do ours this way.

Hmm...now which one do I want to decorate?

Ok. I've got all the ribbon and glue ready. Are y'all gonna make some ornaments or not?

Mine is gonna be great.

Sometimes you have to approach these crafts at just the right angle.

May you all enjoy good health, bubbling laughter and the joy of being loved!!

What fun, Maeve. I miss those days. I love that you get the menfolk involved, too. My favorite memory is when my girls were little, they'd sit on the counter, wrap their legs around the large Tupperware cake carrier and stir while I put in the ingredients for fruitcakes.

Sure wish I was there for those cookies. I used to have trouble getting the Spritz dough out of those doggone cookie presses.
